Milking? He made a great app that I use daily ( guess it will soon be _used_) and he used the money I paid him to improve his work setup. How is that _milking_?

You improved his work setup but app hasn’t been improved lately with thousands of bugs reported and ignored. Just go to his Apollo GitHub, I am an ultra user and it’s been frustrating to use that app as a Reddit Mod. Please don’t give me that “he’s the only one working”.

  It’s times like these I wish I had a downvote button. Oh well I guess I’m soon to be a former Reddit user in addition to former Apollo user.

in what universe does a developer for a reddit client 'need' an XDR monitor made for color work?

  It does begin to explain why he changed the text from white on black to grey on black, with no option to customise it The app became borderline unusable on phones with low contrast ratios (non-oled)

  I don't do color work and I bought an XDR. I'm sorry you hate people making their own decisions without your approval.

    Apollo dev didn’t bought his XDR, his supporters did with the promise of improving iPad support.

      It started off as a funny idea and people gladly threw money at him because he’s so good. I have a lifetime Apollo Pro Ultra license and there’s literally no way in the app for me to tip him more, but I totally would if there was.

  Why did you put the word "need" in quotes? I don't see it in the comment you're replying to. That said: least for me, I've found that some equipment actually does make me more efficient as a dev, even if I don't "need" it as the bare minimum to do my job. I could do my job on a 15 year old ThinkPad. But having a modern computer with a nice mouse, keyboard and a big external display makes a measurable different in my productivity

    You could get a large monitor, what does the dynamic range do for you? Nobody is saying to use old equipment just why would you buy something so clearly suited for one purpose for a domain that doesn't even involve HDR content? This is also talking about an iOS dev saying this would help test for iPads. How exactly does any of that make sense?
